I bought Montblanc Explorer, Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man EDP, Rasasi Elite Man, and had a sample of Creed Aventus. Of all the colognes inspired by Aventus, this is, IMO, the best one. It feels a little brighter in that maybe it's a little more fruity? But literally smells just like aventus side by side. It also makes Montblanc Explorer smell weak. I can't smell explorer side by side to Elite Man, it is that much stronger. Armaf CDNIM has a lingering, heavy synthetic smell, it personally bothers me. This is so much fresher. I would definitely buy this again.
